After observing for a while, Reiko saw that the Five Tigers Retreat was "full of energy" and was fine, so she prepared to make lunch. Before she left, she naturally didn't forget to carry the little tiger that was basking in the sun, causing the "big tiger" to glare angrily at her again.
Reiko replied with a bright and proud smile. The Five Tigers Retreat was so angry that they almost fainted again.
In view of the fact that the baby tiger was still recovering and needed nourishment, Lingzi went to the small storehouse in the cellar this time and found a chicken and some medicinal materials to stew together.
When she smelled the rich aroma of the herbs and chicken, Reiko was dazed for a moment. A memory flashed through her mind. It seemed that she had once stewed food like this for someone who wasn't in good health … Who was that person?
Before she could think about it, the little tiger beside her smelled the aroma of the meat and started howling. Reiko turned around and saw the little tiger drooling at the pot. She couldn't help but laugh, and the trace of sadness from earlier was thrown to the back of her mind.
Stroking the little tiger's furry head, Reiko smiled and said, "Okay, wait a little longer. I'll give you special treatment later, but you have to leave the chicken drumstick for your master."
Yes, children should like to eat chicken drumsticks …
Reiko didn't know if the little tiger understood her or not, but it kept rubbing against her like a well-behaved kitten, making her laugh non-stop.
When Reiko went to call them for lunch, the Five Tigers Retreat had just washed the clothes that she disliked and was drying them. She got up early in the morning to set up the drying pole in the courtyard. It was just right for her, but a little too tall for the Five Tigers Retreat.
Reiko chuckled silently as she watched him tip-toe to reach it with difficulty. She walked behind him and gently lifted the clothes in his hands and put them on him. The Five Tigers Retreat was startled and instantly trembled. They retreated in panic, but just happened to bump into her arms.
The Five Tigers Retreat members felt a soft touch on their backs, and a strong fragrance of grass and wood rushed into their noses. Their bodies stiffened, and a red cloud suddenly appeared on their faces, quickly spreading to their ears.
Reiko looked down and saw his furry head. She subconsciously reached out to rub it and said softly, "Let's go eat first. We'll cook the rest later!"
With a loud slap, the Five Tigers Retreat covered their heads and jumped a few feet away, almost flipping the clothes on the drying pole. They glared at her with a red face and thick neck. "I, I don't want to eat!"
Tsk, here we go again.
Reiko retracted her red hand and looked at him meaningfully. "It's okay if you don't want to eat … Little tiger, come!" She waved at the four little tigers on the ground, and the four little tigers immediately abandoned their master and walked to her feet.
"Xiaohu!" The Five Tigers Retreat shouted anxiously, but they didn't dare to go forward. The little tigers looked at him strangely, then turned their heads and intimately rubbed against Reiko's calf. Little Miss smelled so good, and it smelled like meat.
"Good boys. Let's go and eat meat with Big Sister!" Reiko smiled. She didn't feel like a fake teenage girl taking advantage of the little tigers at all. She narrowed her eyes and looked back at the Five Tigers Retreat. The Five Tigers Retreat, who were about to rush over, froze again in fear. "If you don't listen to me, hmm …"
Her unfinished words were full of threats. The pink on the Five Tigers Retreat's face disappeared instantly. Looking at her back, they finally stomped their feet with tears in their eyes and chased after her.
Sitting at the dining table, the young man buried his head in the bowl and didn't even look at the fragrant stewed chicken on the table. Reiko believed that if it wasn't for his good manners that allowed him to eat slowly, he would have swallowed the rice and run away. However, his gaze that kept drifting to the plate betrayed him.
He was still a child! Reiko laughed secretly.
She put a drumstick in his bowl. The Five Tigers Retreat put on a straight face and was about to take it when they heard a clear female voice ask casually, "When I came, Fox's Assistance said that This Pill has 79 Fu Mourning God. Why are you the only one now?"
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned. They stuffed the drumstick they were about to throw back into their mouths … and pretended not to hear anything.
"Hmm? You don't know, or you don't want to answer? "
The Five Tigers Retreat looked up. Holding his chopsticks nervously, he glared at her as if he would rather die than submit. "I-I won't tell you!"
"…" Reiko looked straight at him until the Five Tigers Retreat's back went numb. She faintly said, "Oh," and put the other drumstick in his bowl. She would find out anyway. It didn't look like he was in any danger.
Wu Hutui didn't expect that she would give up asking questions so easily. He stared at her stupidly and didn't come to his senses until Lingzi knocked on the table and asked him to eat quickly. He looked at her with a complicated expression and picked up the bowl to eat silently. When he came to his senses, he had eaten two big drumsticks and a small half of the chicken. His face immediately turned red and he looked ashamed and angry.
Reiko was about to burst out laughing because of his awkward look. However, she didn't want to agitate him anymore, so she viciously chased him out of the kitchen and told him to continue working.
Wu Hu retreated and stood outside the kitchen. He saw that she was taking care of the five little tigers and destroying the remaining chickens. He didn't even eat two mouthfuls. His cheeks were puffed up, and a sense of guilt suddenly rose in his heart. However, he quickly suppressed it and walked out uneasily.
The entire afternoon, the Five Tigers Retreat cleaned up the house. Not only did they clean up Reiko's "old man's" room and their original room, but they also started to clean up the other rooms. Reiko took out the quilt to dry and took out the dirty bedsheets from the "bedsheet room" to wash them all. When it was time for dinner, the Five Tigers Retreat was so tired that his eyelids were drooping. He couldn't even talk back to Reiko. Reiko took the opportunity to stuff a pile of meat and vegetables into his bowl, but he unconsciously finished them all.
Then, when Reiko started to take care of the little tigers and started to eat, she turned around and saw the young man lying on the table and snoring softly. He was holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand and there were still a few rice grains at the corner of his mouth.
"Ha …"
So … those who wanted to court death were either bored or had nothing better to do. They found something to do and were so tired that they couldn't think about anything else. Naturally, they would stop.
However …
Reiko looked at the young man who was frowning even when he was asleep and sighed. After all, he was still a child … So, my ex, what did you do …
After settling the little tigers down, Reiko gently pulled the chopsticks out of the young man's hand and took a tissue to wipe his mouth clean. Then, she directly carried him by the waist and walked into the room. The exhausted Five Tigers Retreat was completely unconscious. Like a little tiger, he subconsciously snuggled into her arms. Just like that, he was carried back to the room by Reiko.
She went back to the room of the "elderly" that Lingzi had picked. Last night, Wu Hu had slept here. She was worried about letting him sleep alone. She was afraid that he would have a fever at night because he was weak.
Probably because there were too many messy thoughts in his mind, the Five Tigers Retreat didn't notice that he had slept with Reiko last night when he woke up this morning.
The bedding that had been dried during the day was soft and fluffy. It had the smell of the sun. The Five Tigers Retreat subconsciously rubbed against it as soon as he laid down. It was so comfortable that he sighed and fell into a deep sleep again.
Reiko lovingly stroked his white hair that had regained its luster. Then, she pulled the blanket over him and quietly left the room. Soon, only the light breathing of the Five Tigers Retreat was left in the room.
The sound of Lingzi's footsteps gradually disappeared outside the door. After quite a while, the paper door was gently opened, and a Tachi whose brilliance was covered by a gorgeous scabbard of red and gold squeezed in through the narrow gap.
As soon as the Tai Dao came in, it floated straight to the bed in the room. If the Five Tigers Retreat opened their eyes at this moment, they would definitely see this strange scene. The Tai Dao was suspended in mid-air, the blade tilted, as if it was sizing up the sleeping Five Tigers Retreat.
"We don't want you … My Lord, don't abandon us …" The sleeping Five Tigers Retreat let out a murmur. Sparkling tears slid down the corners of their eyes. Their white and tender cheeks were very lovable.
The Tai Dao that was suspended in mid-air immediately floated in the direction it came from. Suddenly, the oil lamp in the room flickered twice. The Tai Dao that had already floated to the door paused, turned around, and faced the knife rack on the right side of the room.
The Tai Dao on the knife rack trembled twice, as if it was communicating with the Tai Dao at the door. The Tai Dao at the door was unmoved. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. The Tai Dao at the door swayed and immediately floated out stubbornly. Just as it was about to leave, the Five Tigers Retreat on the bed once again let out a murmur, causing the Tai Dao to stay in place.
"Sister, I'm sorry … I'm sorry …"
The Five Tigers Retreat was personally forged by the former God's Inquisitor. He had always called the former God's Inquisitor "My Lord." It wasn't hard to guess who this "sister" was.
The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer. The Tai Dao on the knife rack trembled slightly, as if someone was persuading it. The Tai Dao at the door stood still for a moment, then floated to the knife rack. When the footsteps reached the door, it leaned against the wall beside the knife rack and stopped moving.
At the door, Reiko looked at the slightly ajar door and wondered if she had left the door closed properly before she left. However, her attention was immediately diverted by the spoiled little tigers at her feet.
"Awoo …"
"Shh …" Reiko raised her finger and looked inside carefully. Seeing that the Five Tigers Retreat wasn't woken up, she was relieved and squatted down to educate the little tigers in a low voice, "Be quiet. Don't wake up the master."
Except for the injured tiger cub in her arms, the other four obediently rubbed against her one by one. Then, they sneaked in through the gap of the door that she had opened softly. They walked to the bed where the five tigers had retreated and carefully occupied a spot each. Soon, they all fell asleep.
Reiko had a smile on her face. She placed the injured little tiger beside the pillows of the Five Tigers Retreat and tucked the Five Tigers Retreat in. Seeing that his face was rosy and there were still tears at the corners of his eyes, Reiko gently wiped away the tears. Then, she couldn't help but gently poke his soft cheeks.
"He's very cute even when he's asleep …"
"The Five Tigers Retreat is a very cute child when he smiles." "…"
